Shimoga, May 3: Director-General and Inspector-General of Police A.R. Infant called upon officials of various departments to work with coordination to implement development works in naxal-affected regions.
He was speaking at a programme organised here on Wednesday to handover various facilities under the naxal surrender and rehabilitation policy of the State Government to Krishna, a resident of Koranakote village in Hosanagar taluk, who was once a naxal, but had opted for the surrender and rehabilitation package.
There was no space for violence and lawlessness in a democracy. Concerted efforts were necessary to eradicate the naxal problem, he said. It took one year to extend the facilities to Mr. Krishna owing to the completion of formalities like identification of the land and preparation of the documents, he said.
Later, addressing media persons Mr Infant said there were about 40 active and naxals in the State. “It is true that hand bills with?Tamil text were found during anti-naxal operations. However, there is no authentic information on the activities of ultras from other states in Karnataka or their nexus with those from our State,” he said.
Mangaluru, Jan 20: A teenage girl drowned after a boat in which she was traveling in capsized in the river Netravati at Uliya Hoige, Ullal, police said on Monday.
